Dedicated spaces have long been crucial to LGBTQ+ people. Whether it’s with friends and chosen family, or partners and hook-ups, these places have created joy and belonging while providing care that isn’t always available elsewhere.

Unfortunately, in the UK, it’s unclear how many LGBTQ+ venues can outlast the pandemic, even with the financial support some have received from Arts Council England and the mayor of London.
